Preschoolers PROCESS their THINKING




Preschoolers started Tuning in with the new unit on How The World Works. They have unlocked the Central Idea "All Living Things go through a process of change."  and identified the words to gain a deeper understanding on the unit. 

Words they came up with for our Chalk Talk Activity
Living Things: with heart | breathe | needs air and water | grow | move | needs love |
Process: goes round and round | first and then...
Change: .. from one thing to another

Using the Think, Puzzle, Explore sheet they have discussed in small groups about the different animals. They wrote down their thinking and things that puzzle them. 


 



Together as a class, we looked at the animals and sorted them according to animal groups. It was an interesting discussion and Preschoolers have proven how they have developed on becoming THINKERS and INQUIRERS.

Night of the Student Led Conference

Preschoolers practice for their upcoming Student Led Conference (SLC) by engaging in mock sessions with peers and teachers. These practices help the students build confidence as they learn to talk about their artwork, classroom routines, and personal growth.  Using the checklist prompted by visuals like portfolios and photo displays, preschoolers explain their learning journey in simple, meaningful ways. Practicing ahead of the actual conference allows them to feel prepared and proud to share with their families.  It fosters communication skills, independence, and a strong sense of ownership over their learning — all foundational for future academic and social success. During the actual Student Led Conference, preschoolers experienced a range of emotions. Some felt nervous facing their parents, while others were visibly tired or overwhelmed by the attention.  A few needed gentle support to stay engaged. On the other hand, many confidently shared their work, explained clas...

Meet the Animals

Students have been actively engaged in preparing for our upcoming Animal Exhibit, showcasing their learning through research, creativity, and collaboration. Each student selected an animal of interest, explored its habitat, diet, and unique adaptations, and created a visual display to share their findings. This week the preschoolers worked in teams to group animals according to their natural habitats—such as grassland, fresh water, polar region, ocean, and forest.  Together, they collaborated to research the features and designed a small-scale habitat that reflect the unique features of each ecosystem. This group project fostered teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity as students and teachers combined their knowledge and ideas to create cohesive, informative, and visually engaging designs.  The final displays beautifully showcase both the diversity of animal life and the power of collaboration. As part of the preparation, preschoolers will practice presentation skills and t...
